Base Modules
Chapter 2: Hardware
Each I/O system is built around a Base Module. Base Modules provide
digital and/or analog I/O and radio communications with other nodes.
Wireless Modbus I/O encompasses a growing family of products including
Base Modules, Expansion Modules, Programming Modules, configuration
software and accessories. All modules are built into similar enclosures
featuring male local bus plugs and female local bus receptacles on the sides,
which allow modules to connect together. Modules are DIN rail mountable
and feature removable screw terminal blocks.
I/O Modules
I/O systems consist of Base Modules and Expansion Modules. These
modules are configured using a Programming Module, connected to a PC and
running I/O Manager software. I/O systems can operate in Modbus or Peerto-Peer modes. In Modbus mode an I/O system exchanges Modbus messages
with a Modbus radio modem. In Peer-to-peer mode two I/O systems provide
wire-replacement functionality. Some Base Modules can also be used as
repeaters, to extend the communication distance of a system.

A Typical Base Module
Radio options include two frequency bands (900 MHz and 2.4 GHz) and
three power output/range categories: Short Range, Medium Range and Long

Local Bus Connectors
Hardware
Power Supply Requirements
The Local Bus connectors are included on Base, Expansion and
Programming Modules. These connectors are dual row, 14 pin (2 mm
spacing) connectors, male on one side of the module and female on the other.
Modules are plugged together to supply power and facilitate communication
between modules.
I/O systems can be powered from DC or AC power sources. No supply is
included since the power rating of the supply will depend on the total power
requirements of all modules used in the system.
When adding an Expansion Module to a Base Module the male connector on
the Expansion Module plugs into the female connector on the Base Module.
The second Expansion Module plugs into the first, and so on, up to a
maximum of six Expansion Modules.
If an AC power supply is to be used, it should be 24VAC.
Appendix B contains a listing of power requirements for all I/O modules.
If a DC power supply is to be used, it is important to note whether the system
will include DO’s with sourcing outputs.
•
Systems which incorporate DO’s with sourcing (PNP transistor) outputs
on the Base Module or any Expansion Modules must be powered with a
supply voltage range of 10 to 46 VDC maximum.
•
Systems in which all digital outputs have sinking (NPN transistor)
outputs on the Base Module and all Expansion Modules (no sourcing
drivers) can be powered with a supply voltage range of 10 to 48 VDC.
Refer to the I/O Options and Characteristics section for more information on
sourcing and sinking outputs.
Mounting Hardware
I/O modules can be DIN rail mounted. The DIN mounting clip and spring is
included on each module.
Figure 10. Local Bus Connector
On the Programming Module, either Local Bus connector (male or female)
can be used to plug into Base or Expansion Modules.
I/O Connectors
I/O connectors for Base and Expansion Modules are removable (plug in)
screw terminal blocks located on the front of the unit. Terminal spacing is 3.5
mm. Depending on the specific model, the number of terminals may vary.
The maximum is 16 terminals (two 8-terminal blocks).

Analog Inputs
Analog inputs accept voltage, current signals, or RTD temperature signals.
When configured as voltage inputs the full scale range is 0 to 10 VDC. When
configured as current inputs the full scale range is 0 to 20 mA and the input
resistance is 250 ohms. When configured as RTD input the range is PT100,
PT1000, CU10 types.
Analog Outputs
(Modules continue to be developed with additional features and options.)
Analog outputs produce voltage or current output signals. When configured
as voltage outputs the full scale range is 0 to 10 VDC at 1 mA maximum.
When configured as current outputs the full scale range is 0 to 20 mA with a
maximum load resistance of 450 Ω at 20 mA.
0 to 20 mA AI’s and AO’s accommodate standard 4 to 20 mA instrumentation
current loop signals.
Refer to Appendix E for a list of available models and options.
I/O Types and Characteristics
Digital Inputs
DI’s can detect the presence of contact closures, transistor switches or on/off
DC voltage signals (low or high logic levels). Voltages below 0.8 VDC are
interpreted as a low state. Voltages between 4.0 VDC and 48 VDC are
interpreted as a high state.
Note: Inputs have an internal “weak” pull-up resistor so unconnected inputs will
read as being in the high state.
Digital Outputs
Digital outputs send on/off signals (low or high logic levels) to drive external
devices such as indicators, relay coils or the inputs of other equipment such
as PLC’s, SCADA, etc. Modules with digital outputs are available with
sourcing or sinking drivers.

Modbus I/O Addressing
I/O modules can be configured to operate as wireless Modbus nodes. In
Modbus mode messages are sent across the wireless link from a Modbus
modem to the I/O and from the I/O to the Modbus modem. Digital and
analog input information from the I/O inputs is stored in the I/O memory and
then sent across the link to the Modbus modem. Digital and analog output
information is sent from the Modbus modem to the I/O, stored in its memory
and then sent to the outputs.
To use Modbus mode successfully, an understanding of the I/O memory map
assignments is necessary.
Modbus fundtion codes supportd are:
DO
DI
AI
AO
00001 to 00112
10001 to 10112
30001 to 30112
40001 to 40112
Figure 18. I/O Memory Areas Table
Within these sections, addresses are reserved for all I/O modules that may be
used.
Module
The following examples show how the addressing works:
Example 1: To turn on the second digital output (DO2) on the Base Module,
the Modbus modem sends a message placing a logic 1 in memory location
00002.
A list of all Modbus address assignments for all I/O points is shown in
Appendix D. Several important points about this list should be noted:
Messages sent between I/O and a Modbus modem use Modbus memory
addresses to specify what type of information is being sent and where it is
stored. In the Modbus addressing scheme each type of I/O (DO, DI, AI and
AO) is stored in a different section of the memory.
I/O Type
Figure 19. Module I/O Addressing Table
Example 2: To cause Expansion Module 3 to output a specified voltage on
AO1, the Modbus modem sends a message to set the register at Modbus
address 40049 to the appropriate value.
Function 1: Read DO Status
Function 2: Read DI’s
Function 3: Read AO Status

•
Some addresses are listed but not implemented in current versions of I/O
hardware.
•
Some addresses are reserved for internal I/O use.
•
Some addresses are reserved for future use.
•
40000 series addresses store Analog Output data AND Frequency
Counter data when Digital Inputs are configured for Frequency Counter
operation. For each module, the first eight memory locations are
assigned to AO data and the next four locations are assigned to
Frequency Counter data.
•
If a Modbus device communicating with I/O tries to send to or receive
from a memory address not implemented by the hardware in use,
the I/O replies with an exception response.
Appendix D of this manual contains a list of Modbus I/O assignments for the
I/O.

Modbus Mode
I/O Modes of Operation
I/O systems can operate in Peer-to-Peer or Modbus modes. Some Base
Modules can be configured as repeaters to extend the radio coverage
distance.
In Modbus mode standard Modbus messages can be sent and received
between a Modbus radio modem and a I/O system. Data written to output
addresses in the I/O result in signals appearing on its outputs. Signals
connected to I/O inputs are converted and stored in Modbus input memory
locations and then sent across the link as Modbus messages to the Modbus
radio modem.
Peer-to-Peer Mode
In Peer-to-Peer mode two I/O systems provide wire replacement
functionality. In this mode one Base is configured as the master and the other
as the slave. (It does not matter which end of the link is the master and which
is the slave.) Both Base Modules must be the same model. Analog and digital
input signals connected to AI’s and DI’s on one module appear on the
corresponding AO’s and DO’s on the other module. Any Expansion Modules
included in a Peer-to-Peer system must be chosen to be complimentary. For
example, if Expansion Module 1 on one end of the link is a MDE04A (4
analog inputs), Expansion Module 1 on the other end of the link must be a
MDE05A (4 analog outputs).
Figure 21. Modbus Mode
Repeater Mode
When a I/O Base Module is configured as a radio repeater it relays data (from
a Modbus modem or another I/O Base Module) and extends the range of
communication.

Most importantly, some research and testing of the proposed installation
location(s) should be carried out. Sometimes small changes in location can
make a significant improvement to coverage.
Computer System Requirements
I/O Installation
The I/O Manager software requires the following computer hardware and
operating systems:
RF Site Considerations
When installing any radio equipment it is important to give careful
consideration to the installation location and the surrounding area. Radio
transmission and reception is affected by absorption, reflection and refraction
of the radio signals. These factors are determined by the distance between the
transmitting and receiving antennas, the type, position and amount of
obstructions, antenna heights, frequency band and RF power used, and other
factors.
•
A PC with one serial port available between COM1 and COM16
•
Windows XP (Home or Professional with SP1 and SP2), Windows 2000
(with SP4), Windows 98 (SP1, Second Edition) or Windows ME
Installing I/O Software
To install the I/O Manager software:
There are several ways to optimize the RF environment to ensure satisfactory
performance. A partial list of these follows:
1. Insert the CD included with your I/O product into the CD ROM drive of
your PC.
•
2. The installation should launch automatically. If not:
Select the I/O radio option that provides sufficient power for your
application. Lower frequencies travel farther and are less affected by
absorption in materials. Higher power levels generally provide greater
penetration through objects.
•
Select installation locations that come as close as possible to providing
LOS access between Base Modules.
•
Avoid installation locations where metal objects may block, reflect,
refract or cause multipathing of radio frequencies. (In some cases
reflections may enhance reception but in others it can cause problems.
Some experimentation may be necessary.)
•
Select installation locations to increase antenna heights.
•
Select equipment enclosures made of materials that minimize RF
attenuation.
•
Avoid locations with other radio equipment that may cause interference.
•
In some cases alternate types of antennas (more directional) or remote
antenna mounting (outside of enclosures or at a higher elevation) may be
required.

Configuration & Operation
Configuration & Operation
Chapter 4: Configuration & Operation
I/O Manager software is used to configure I/O hardware. Using I/O
Manager, the system can be configured to operate in Peer-to-Peer (wirereplacement) or Modbus modes (receiving Modbus commands and data from
a Modbus wireless modem). Digital inputs can be configured to operate in
Discrete (on/off) or Frequency Counter modes and analog inputs and outputs
are configurable for voltage or current loop operation.
Configuring I/O
I/O modules can be configured to operate as wireless Modbus nodes or as
wire replacement links in Peer-to-Peer mode. Wireless configuration options
are the same for either mode.
Figure 26. Wireless Area of Configuration Tab
Wireless Settings
I/O Base Modules can be configured for operation in different geographic
areas of the world. They can also be configured to operate on several
different radio channels. This allows multiple I/O systems to operate in the
same area without interference. The number of different systems can be
further increased by configuring a unique Network Identifier (which selects
the frequency hopping sequence). Base Modules also can be used as
repeaters, to extend the range of a system.
3. Set the Channel Number field to match the channel used by the device
with which it will communicate.
a.
If that device is another I/O Base Module, set the Channel Numbers
the same when configuring each of them.
b.
If the device is a Modbus radio modem, the modem must be
configured by using the correct AT command to match the Base
Module’s Channel Number.
c.
Each I/O radio type uses a different Channel Number range. Modbus
radio modems use different AT commands depending on the radio
type. The table below shows these ranges and commands.
To configure Wireless settings:
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. In the Region drop down list, select the region in which you are
operating: Europe or Other. The Region selection configures the radio
to operate with the power output and other parameters appropriate for
that region. The default Region selection is Europe, which limits power
levels to those acceptable in that region.

Configuration & Operation
Modbus Mode Settings
When configured as a wireless Modbus node, I/O communicates with a
Wireless Modbus Modem and provides remote I/O functionality.
Refer to Appendix E for a list of which I/O Modbus modems are compatible with
which I/O Base Modules.
When the I/O receives a Modbus message to write to a discrete output (0xxxx
addresses in its memory map), the I/O module turns on its corresponding
digital output. If a message containing holding register data is received
(4xxxx addresses in its memory map), the I/O module converts the value to a
voltage or current signal on the corresponding analog output.
Figure 28. Network ID Value Table
The default value of the Channel Number field for SR radios is 0; the
default for MR radios is 16 and for LR radios is 17.
d.
For MR and LR radio modems, set the destination address (ATDT)
to 0xFFFF.
5. Select the Repeater checkbox if the I/O Base Module is to be used as a
repeater, re-broadcasting I/O data received in Modbus or Peer-to-Peer
modes.
The default value of the Repeater field is: unchecked.
Note: Repeater Mode can only be implemented on the medium range (MR) and
long range (LR) Base Modules. The Repeater checkbox is not available when
short range (SR) Base Modules.
Figure 29. Modbus Mode
Digital and analog signals applied to the I/O module’s input terminals are
converted to Modbus messages to be sent back to the radio modem. Digital
inputs are stored as 1xxxx (coil) addresses; analog inputs are converted to 12
bit binary values and stored in 3xxxx (input register) addresses.
To configure the I/O for Modbus mode:
1. Select the Configuration tab.

Peer-to-Peer Mode Settings
In Peer-to-Peer mode digital and analog signals can be transferred in both
directions across a I/O link. For successful communication both Base
Modules must be the same model and all Expansion Modules must be
complimentary (e.g. DI to DO, AI to AO) and arranged in the same order on
the Local Bus. One is configured as Peer-to-Peer Master and other is
configured as Peer-to-Peer slave. It does not matter which one is configured
as master. Additionally, Peer-to-Peer Master address MUST match the Peerto-Peer Slave address (1-255).
Peer-to-Peer Master
4. The Polling Rate box contains the number of seconds between polls by
the master. The default value of 1 second is usually satisfactory. The
range of values is 0 to 20 seconds. If the I/O points are not updating
properly, try increasing the value.
5. The Retry Count box contains the number of attempts that will be made
to communicate with the slave device before the module indicates
communication has been lost. Lost communication is indicated by the RF
Data and Bus LED’s blinking alternately. The default value of 10 is
usually satisfactory. The range of values is 10 to 255.

Appendix F: I/O Troubleshooting
Problem
RSSI LED and RF Data
LED intermittently blink
Causes
•
Firmware does not match
The firmware for all base modules must match and the
firmware for all expansion modules must match. The firmware
rev number may be viewed on the information tab of the
configuration software.
If the firmware does not match, then update the firware with the Firmware
updater program.
•
No Peer-Peer communication link
The communication link is not established. Verify that all
parameters in the configuration tab in the programming
software is correct.
Make sure that there are no obstacles in the path of the wireless
transmission.
•
Too many expansion modules installed
Only 6 expansion modules may be connected to any base module.
•
Expansion modules in peer-peer mode do not match
In peer-peer mode, the master and slave must have the same number of
expansion modules.
•
Expansion module added/removed without cycling power on
base module
The I/O configures the base module and expansion modules on a cycle of
power. No damage occurs by adding/removing a module “hot” but the
power does need to be cycled for the base module to update the expansion
locations.
